chapter 5: The Challenge of a lifetime
I sighed with relief. It was finally the weekend. Nothing but rest and relaxation for me and the Marauders, or so I was hoping. I went to breakfast early that day because I wanted a little Quidditch practice. I also realized my broom is faster and much newer than anyone else's broom.
I sat with Lily who was talking about boys. 'wonderful timing Gin, they're going to ask me if I've fallen helplessly in love with Black like every other stupid girl who's ever seen at least a picture of him' I thought. I then I inwardly growled with annoyance when Minerva asked, "Hey Gin, you fell for the charms yet?" I blinked as if I had no idea what she was talking about. "Charms? What charms might you be speaking of?" I asked. "You know, the Black charms," Lily said. "Charms? Black has charms? Hey I don't know what's come over you, but I don't like Black," I said firmly. "Oh ho! You do like Black don't ya?" asked Isimar in a teasing voice. "If you don't like Black you should like someone by now. You've been here for about a week now. Who is it?" Lily explained.
I decided to play along with their game a little bit. Besides I knew Sirius was dieing to hear what I have to say since they were planning to scare me from behind in the cloak. "Okay say I do like someone, you've gotta guess. But before you do I gotta take care of something," I said. I promptly turned around and yanked the cloak off of the boys who stumbled and fell. "You boys where real slick following me. Nice try Sirius but I can sense danger and mischief so you'll never be able to really trick me," I explained. Sirius pouted and crossed his arms and I merely laughed.
"Wow Black you've met your match, you two make a cute couple. Blackie and Reddie are perfect together don't you think Minnie?" Lily said. I backed away from Sirius who was a deep shade of maroon. "Yeah whatever ," I said rolling my eyes. "You really don't like Black?" Isimar said. "Trust me, I like Black as much as he likes Severus -frickin- Snape," I said wagging my finger after every syllable of Snape's name. "Say I like Snape alot?" Sirius said. "Then I say you're a frickin gay bob Sirius you old doggy you," I said patting him on the back. "Oh if you really like Snape I suggest medical attention and an exorcist." I walked of with a piece of toast ready to fly.
3rd POV:
Everyone laughed as Ginny walked off, a piece of toast firmly clamped in her mouth. "What? That's not funny why are you laughing with me?" Sirius demanded. "We're not laughing with you, we're laughing at you! It's funny because what she said was the truth," Minerva choked trying n to prevent laughing too hard that she hurts her diaphragm.
"Ha, hah. Woah look at that! Sweet!" Sirius said. Everyone's heads turned. Ginny had come from the tower with the most amazing looking broom ever. Quidditch freaks and Quidditch players came over to admire her broom. "Relax guys, relax, it's only a Firebolt. It's almost as good as a Firebolt XS," she said. "Is it fast?" Sirius asked from the back of the crowd.
It parted and the people let him through. "Yeah it is," Ginny said. Sirius had a look of challenge in his eyes. "Probably not as fast as mine." "Is that a challenge Black?" Ginny stepped up to him. Their noses were barely inches apart. He smirked. "As a matter of fact it is. First person around the border of the school wins pride, respect, and 200 galleons, accept? or are you a coward?" Sirius said. She glared and he smirked. She then put on an evil grin. "You just made a deal with the devil in the pink dress," she said. She shook his hand a used wand-less magic she learned from Harry to scorch his hand when she touched it. "Youch!" he yelled. "Said I was the devil, see you at 8:00 pm. Black, start line is... Hogsmead station. Be there, " Ginny said. She then walked of to find a scale of the school.
"You think you can do it Padfoot?" James asked. "Yeah, what you think I'm slower than HER? I've seen her working on transfiguration homework, slower than a retarded turtle," Sirius said confidently. He went up to the common room to polish his broom before he left.
Meanwhile...
"excuse me Professor Binns, I was wondering if you had the complete scale of Hogwarts," Ginny said to the ghost in his recent classroom. "Well, alright. Hogwarts is 900,00 leagues 'round the border area of the school and the castle measurements are completely unknown. The forbidden forest is 200,000 acres big. That's what I remember any ways good day young miss," he said with that he vanished into the wall. Ginny took a muggle pen and notebook out. She scribbled the measurements down and jolted to the Gryffyndor common room.
She arrived at the Gryffyndor portrait and said the password (wolfbane). She looked around searching for someone who'd like to make a few galleons. "Hey you six," Ginny said to a group of first and second year boys and girls. "Us?" One boy asked. "Yeah, you, wanna make a few galleons?" Ginny said. They all nodded. " Good what I what you to do..."
